A deal
On the other side, just as Qian Renxue boarded the carriage, a guard from the Crown Prince's residence respectfully said to her through the window, "Your Highness, Xue Ye has requested that you spend more time with the grandson-in-law of Poison Douluo during this period."
"Then let's go." Even without Xue Ye's permission, Qian Renxue had long wanted to find an opportunity to meet this scumbag who had deceived her teacher.
He was lucky before.
The plan was to send Ning Fengzhi to contact Ye Qinghe, as it was initially thought that, given Ning Fengzhi's cunning nature, he would go to great lengths, even arranging a marriage, to win him over.
Unexpectedly, Ning Fengzhi seemed to have lost his mind and became obsessed with winning over Tang Hao's dwarf son.
This time, she's determined to expose this scumbag's true colors.
Just as Qian Renxue was thinking about how to expose Ye Qinghe's true colors and prevent Bibi Dong from being deceived again, the Snake Lance Douluo's voice rang in her ears, "Young Master, His Holiness the Pope has arrived. You'd better not go to see him now."
Qian Renxue's face lit up with joy, and she quickly asked, "Has Teacher arrived? Come, take me to see her!"
This is the first time her teacher has come to visit her in all these years.
But the next sentence from Snake Lance Douluo ignited a fire of jealousy in Qian Renxue's heart. "His Holiness the Pope is currently with that person."
When he said this, Snake Lance Douluo's tone was clearly filled with a sense of helplessness.
It's an open secret among the higher-ups of the Spirit Hall that His Holiness the Pope has taken a liking to a Xiao Bai.
However, the Pope has always been domineering, and no one dares to question her.
Even the Great Enshrined and the former Pope, who is now a Priest, only asked her questions symbolically and did not put any pressure on her.
After all, the fact that His Holiness the Pope has taken a liking to a Xiao Bai doesn't harm the interests of the Spirit Hall, except for the less-than-stellar reputation. Besides, this Xiao Bai is exceptionally talented, and given the lifespan of Titled Douluo, the age difference between them will be negligible in a few hundred years.
However, this Saintess Hall has always held a grudge about this matter. If it weren't for the His Holiness the Pope the years that no one in the Spirit Hall would disturb Ye Qinghe, and his and the Pufferfish's dissuasion, she might have already done something drastic.
This is also why Snake Lance revealed that Bibi Dong was by Ye Qinghe's side, causing her to back down.
Otherwise, the other party would most likely claim that Xue Ye sent her to complete an undercover mission, thus disobeying His Holiness the Pope's orders to contact Ye Qinghe.
But it would have been better if he hadn't said anything; upon hearing it, Qian Renxue's composure instantly crumbled.
On what grounds?
I am the teacher's disciple, so why did she come to Heaven Dou City to see that scumbag who is always surrounded by women instead of me?
With a gloomy face, Qian Renxue asked telepathically, "Does the teacher know that scumbag has become Dugu Bo's grandson-in-law, stolen the fiancée of that useless third prince of the Star Luo Empire, and even flirted with that little girl from the Nine Heart Begonia family, taking her in as a maid?"
Upon hearing this, Snake Lance Douluo broke out in a cold sweat and dared not reply.
But Qian Renxue already knew the answer. In the end, in order not to displease her teacher, she restrained herself and said to the guard outside the car window, "Never mind, it's too late today, let's not go. Let's do it another day."
"Yes, Your Highness."
At Qian Renxue's command, the carriage turned around and headed towards the Crown Prince's residence.
Snake Lance Douluo saw all of this and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that this ancestor might do something rash.
At that time, His Holiness the Pope might not still consider her a disciple.
Kissing isn't as ecstatic as it's portrayed in novels.
Ye Qinghe felt his lips press against a pair of moist, soft flesh, but there wasn't anything particularly strange about it.
On the contrary, Bibi Dong's rapid breathing and faint body fragrance made his mind go blank.
Their lips met for more than ten seconds.
Just as they were getting intimate, Tang Hao had already arrived at Yu Xiaogang's room.
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang was fantasizing that after the birth of Xiao Yu'er's younger brother or sister, he would no longer provide the child with any education, allowing him or her to grow up normally until they awakened their Martial Soul.
The window was suddenly opened, and Tang Hao appeared in the room.
"Clear Sky Douluo!" Yu Xiaogang exclaimed in surprise, and rushed forward without hesitation.
Without a word, Tang Hao grabbed his neck with one hand and lifted him up with the other, saying, "You deserve to die."
"Waaah..." Under Tang Hao's force, Yu Xiaogang's breathing began to become rapid.
In this life-or-death moment, Yu Xiaogang, drawing strength from who-knows-where, grabbed Tang Hao's arms with both hands, lifted herself up, and cried out with difficulty, "Why is Clear Sky Douluo doing this?"
However, Tang Hao still had no intention of stopping. He stared coldly at Yu Xiaogang, as if looking at a dead man. "You should know why. I already gave you one chance, but you shouldn't have let Xiao San hunt Hundred-Year Soul Beast with his fourth Soul Ring, causing him to waste a precious Soul Ring slot. Today is your death day."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang panicked more than ever before and hurriedly explained, "No, I didn't harm Xiaosan, Clear Sky Douluo, it's all a misunderstanding, please don't kill me."
Tang Hao sneered, "Even now, you still want to deny it? This is what the mistress told me herself."
Yu Xiaogang felt a chill instantly run through his heart. He never expected Tang San to turn his fourth Soul Ring into a hundred-year-old mistake and return it to him. This was going to kill him.
No matter how he refutes it now, Tang Hao probably won't believe him. Even if he says that Xiao Wu made Tang San absorb the ten-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring, causing the Soul Ring to mutate into a hundred-year one, the other party probably still won't believe him.
Most of Flender' group would choose to cover for Xiao Wu and point the finger at him, Yu Xiaogang.
This is a dead end.
The only way to survive now is to prove my worth.
These thoughts flashed through Yu Xiaogang's mind for only a moment before he realized what was happening and reminded him, "Clear Sky Douluo, don't you want to know the reason for resolving the backlash of Twin Martial Souls?"
"Now that things have come to this, do you think I'd still believe you? Don't even mention that woman from the Spirit Hall wouldn't look down on a piece of trash like you. Even if she did, do you think someone as useless as you could get the method for cultivating Twin Martial Souls from her?"
Tang Hao smiled coldly, increasing the pressure in his hand.
Unable to bear it any longer, Yu Xiaogang coughed up a mouthful of blood. In desperation, he could only grit his teeth and say, "Don't kill me."
Tang Hao was taken aback for a moment, checked him over, and then realized that he had loosened his grip slightly. He let go and put him on the ground.
After catching his breath Yu Xiaogang coughed violently on the ground for a while, then said unwillingly, "As long as you let me go and let me continue being the teacher of mistresses, I will be no worse than a mistress after your tutelage, and may even be better."
Upon hearing this, Tang Hao weighed the pros and cons and ultimately chose to agree, because Tang San's fourth Soul Ring was now ruined, and he couldn't guarantee whether Tang San would be able to defeat Bibi Dong in the future.
After all, a small mistake can lead to a huge error.
All of this must be done with a focus on stability.
